Congrats!!!!! Like others have said, don't sell yourself short. You did GREAT!

Congrats!!!!! Awesome achievement!

I would just do the DVD thing since you're unable to get to the gym. I've had to do the same with with my Zumba class for various reasons. I was going 5 days/week and now have had to cut it down to 2X/week so I do Tae Bo at home. Once you log in your minutes of working our on MFP and see how many calories you've burned,…

AWESOME!!

Keep up the great work!! You'll reach your goal before you know it!

Mos of the time I do not eat the extra calories that exercising adds to the daily count. Like most of you have said, if I'm hungry, I eat. If I'm not, I don't. I've got Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, a form of hypothyroid, which causes food from the plate to just adhere to my hips LOL, so I try to help out the weight loss by not…

www.eatcleandiet.com It is a good diet or should I say way of eating. I don't follow it 100%, but I do feel better when I get more of that type of food in. Friday night is still pizza night at our house though!

My small success today is accomplishing 20 minutes of advanced Tae Bo after working all day and going to church at night. I won't let this workout go until the night time again! I want to complete the whole 50 minutes!

I don't see the weight loss either when I look at my body but I have dropped one pants size and my bras are fitting more loosely. I see the change in my face, wrists and ankles, places that weren't too fat. I know I'll see more changes as long as I continue to drop the weight and also weight lift. The fat will be burned up…

Great idea!

Glad you guys liked the workout.

I have recommended MFP to many people. I will be recommending it to many others because: 1) Keeps me accountable 2) It's so easy I just love this site. It is so easy compared to another site I was on.

Please, please do not give up. Weight loss takes time. Do not compare yourself to others. In my weight loss journey, the inches came off first i.e. pants started feeling loser, tops and bras loser etc. then the weight started coming off. Keep logging in your food intake and exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! You can you can!!…

There are several things that kick started my weight loss. They are: 1) Knowing I HAD to exercise 2) Realizing that I have 'tried' to lose weight for a long time & wasn't truly working on it 3) Logging in calories on this site 4) Finding exercises I LOVE doing 5) Promising my Daddy before he died that I would take care of…

Add me too!

I am a chiropractor who has struggled with losing weight for years. Here I am, a doctor, and couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing weight. I had been exercising and did lose some weight, but not too much for the effort I was putting in. My Mom turned me onto this site and since first logging in on February 21st, I have…

I love Zumba. Have been doing it for 1 1/2 years and I still don't do some of the high impact moves as well as I think it's called The Samba. I just move as best as I can and have fun. I laugh at myself and enjoy it. I zig sometimes when I'm suppose to zag................anin't no thing. Just find a type of exercise you…

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!

I love Zumba and weight lifting too....................................:love:

LorinaLynn~You are correct, one doesn't replace fat with muscle. Fat is used up as fuel and the muscle is built by breaking it down (exercising, then healing, hence the pain) 1 lb of fat weighs the same as 1 lb of muscle BUT muscle is leaner (takes up less space) and is more metabolically active (burns more calories)

Thanks for posting your story. I just recently turned 53 and have been overweight for about 25 years. Like you, diet tried etc. to no avail. Even though I'm a doctor, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing weight. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (a form of hypothyroid) so I blamed my lack of weight loss on that and age.…

I would like to have the body that Tosco Reno has. She has inspirted me! She didn't start getting in shape until she was into her 40s and now Tosco has well defined arms, legs and abs. I am 53 years old and now eating a lot healthier, doing aerobics and weight lifting. It all is paying off and I hope to look more and more…

Hi all. I LOVE this site. It is so easy to use. I'm a 52, soon to be 53 yo who has been overweight LONG ENOUGH!!! I'm doing Zumba, weight lifting, the Eat Clean Diet and logging in my food and exercise. Since entering in my stats (for about 2 weeks I think) I've dropped 5 lbs!! I am SO happy! This site is so much of an…
